The Bassinet

Hsiung, Tiffany, (film director.). Pimlott, Justine, (film producer.). Lee, Anita, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: When a vintage bassinet appears at filmmaker Tiffany Hsiung and long-time fiancée Victoria Mata's home, it sets off a chain reaction of emotions. The Bassinet is a gentle and affecting story about Tiffany's personal struggle with the intersection of her sexual orientation and cultural identity, and the cross-generational burden of having a baby in the context of rigid social constructs of marriage and family.
